Re: Stupid things seen/heard at a show - 2018 edition

Didn’t hear this at the show but I thought of this thread anyway.

I picked my car up from the shop on Friday and the guy asks if I had plans for the weekend; just BS small talk while i waited. So naturally I said I was headed down to DC (I didn’t want to have to explain further where Bristow VA was) to see a concert. I normally don’t volunteer it’s a DMB show cause I never know the reaction I’m going to get.

So the guy says, “which concert?” I respond and say Dave Matthews Band.

He says “cool” pauses for a second while I can tell he’s processing it and says, “they just had a reunion right?”

Voice in the back of my head says “da fooque!?!! More like the exact opposite!”

Not wanting to have to explain the hiatus or god forbid have to get into the Boyd situation with a stranger I just said, “something like that. Show should be fun.”

    Got these 3 beauties during the scope last nite:
    1. A guy telling people they were stupid for thinking any of the free albums given away with tickets counted towards the #1 album. "If they were free, they can't be sales stupid!"
    2. Awesome setlist tonight, they are really mixing it up.
    3. They have been playing different sets every nite of the tour.

    Oy Vei.

    Moved too quick for me to read it but some guy had a sign in the pit that was addressed to Dave but had his own IG account tag on it. People are such losers.

    There was a gal in the pit, 2nd row, talking on her phone for a long time. What’s wrong with this world?

    Maybe it was something important? Would just be weird if not.

    I was one of those assholes. I took a single photo with my sister who was at her first show. It was my first time in the pit.

    It took you 60% of the show to take a single selfie? There are selfie training videos out there if you're that bad!

    Guy sitting near me SPAC N2:

    Seek up starts "I hate this fucking song"

    Seek up intro ends, Dave starts singing "See, now I like this song. I don't even know why they bother with the instruments, I just want to hear Dave sing"

    I would say this is most likely because it is generally not a socially acceptable adult behavior to que for hours in line to be ten feet closer to a rock star.

    We had someone on the lawn at Deer Creek insisting that the Stone was played all the time this tour and that she was sick of hearing it

    This isn't really that wrong...the sets are varied. It's not like other bands that play the same set every night.

    The reality of this thread is why I'm done going. Seriously. '16 was the last time, and will likely be the last time. Plenty of accessible music from the tour to satisfy me. I have no desire whatsoever to try and enjoy a concert with these people. Did it for a long time. Can't put up with it anymore.

    I mean I can sorta see where you’re coming from, but you really hate being around these people more than you enjoy hearing DMB live? 9 times out of 10 I laugh at it and go back to enjoying the show

    I hear the dumbest things but just ignore them and focus on having a good time.

    An example - At Chicago N1 this year, it was 95F out and people were dropping like flies in the PIT. Mid-set, a woman fell to the right of my GF and I and blacked out. People were helping her right away and my GF was stuck watching what was going on. I grabbed her and started dancing to focus on what we just paid and traveled for. We spent a ton of money to make it to that show. I'm not going to focus on the negatives (people screaming, people blacking out etc)

    Learn where to put your energy and go enjoy the music you love. Don't let 0.05% of people ruin your experience.

    Exactly. It's not difficult to just smile and move on. My thought process is.. I just paid X for this... am I going to let 1 or 2 people ruin that? No way.

    Totally get where youre coming from, but what I failed to mention in my op was the part when the opening notes played and he threw his hands in the air jumping up and down going complete full jerk over satellite.

    Not sure if this counts, but I thought this was funny. Hartford this year, Dave started strumming and a girl went insane and yelled out to her friends that they were playing Crash. It made her night. She started singing. Dave started singing. She realized shortly into the song that she was singing the wrong words. The song was actually Come Tomorrow. She was completely let down. I think her night was ruined.

    His favorite song happens to suck and he’s too high to realize it.

    Satellite sucks? Yeah, it might be overplayed but c'mon, it doesn't suck.
